It’s not a movie, but…

… I feel obligated to alert you to the fact that this Saturday, in honor of the late George Carlin, NBC will be re-running the very first episode of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, which was hosted by Carlin himself. It’ll air in the normal SNL time slot of 10:30 CST, but it’s a very different animal from the current version of the show. If you want a sneak preview, here’s a link to clips of his monologue.

Carlin, of course, starred in lots of movies, everything from CAR WASH to BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE to JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. And my daughter, who’s not quite 3, only knows him as the voice of the hippie VW bus Fillmore in CARS.

Wait ’til she grows up and hears the “Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television” routine. It’s going to blow her mind.
